One Week. One Ecosystem. One Movement.
Building the Future of Ethical Economies Through the Timeless Principles of the Madina Model
20th September - 26th September 2026 | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
About Islamic Economy Week
Islamic Economy Week is the world's premier platform for governments, investors, scholars, entrepreneurs, development organisations, innovators and future leaders to collaborate on building resilient, ethical and sustainable economies.
Inspired by the Madina Model established by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, Islamic Economy Week transforms timeless principles into modern policies, institutions, investments and partnerships that create measurable global impact.
Why Islamic Economy Week?
The world does not suffer from a lack of resources.
It suffers from fragmented leadership, disconnected institutions and short-term thinking.
At a time of economic uncertainty, climate change, technological disruption and growing social inequality, the world needs practical models that integrate ethics with innovation, prosperity with justice and economic growth with human wellbeing.
Islamic Economy Week was founded to reconnect these principles.
More than a conference, it is a global implementation platform where ideas become partnerships, partnerships become institutions and institutions create lasting impact.
The Madina Model
A Blueprint That Changed History
More than fourteen centuries ago, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ established in Madina one of history's most remarkable civilisations.
It was a society where:
Governance was based on justice
Markets were built on ethics
Wealth circulated through Waqf and Zakat
Communities supported one another
Knowledge was prioritised
Diversity became unity
Prosperity served humanity
The Madina Model was not merely a city. It was a complete ecosystem.
Today, Islamic Economy Week seeks to translate those timeless principles into practical solutions for the modern world. This vision is a central theme of the event and connects each flagship programme to specific principles such as ethical economic exchange, Waqf, knowledge, governance and environmental stewardship.
